Trust me - lesson learned! I will not be repeating that. Combination of not drinking that much recently/ drinking things I don't normally drink and lack of food on the day! Entirely my fault - especially as I remember being the one to go and buy shots. My own stupid idea!
It's fine, Autumn internationals are finished, so there will be a lot less weekends where I want to drink! I shall be sticking to my diet cokes for a while. (at least until I can walk without being in pain!)

No soup for lunch. Being an idiot... I managed to put the top back on, after I'd microwaved it, resulting in the lid becoming well and truely stuck. I really need to have a word with myself today!

Toast and phili is helping with the lack of soup! And I got a packet of Shapers prawn cocktail spirals (3.5 syns) And a couple of cold new potatoes with a bit of may (2 syns)
Imagine I will have an Alpro for dinner tonight (5.5)- 11 syns total for today

Yup - just munch them raw! They're lovely.

I kind of made it up as I went along to be honest....
I used chesnut mushrooms, because I think they have more flavour.
Fry off onions in garlic fry light until soft. Add mushrooms for a few minutes until they're released some of their water. I added a tin of butter beans, to give it a bit more body, then blended with veg stock. It's quite a thick soup, I also added roasted butternut squash and sweet potato to this one! Tasted as I went along and seasoned. I'm terrible for not following recipes; especially when it comes to soup!

My cheap black cardigan decided to give up on me today, so popped to the shops on my way home. New Look were lacking in cardigan, but made up for it in lovely new ankle boots (and 30% off!) So I went to BHS for a cardi and managed to get Secret Santa for work sorted too.
Had a wrap for my HEXB in the end and then a couple of Alpen light cereal bars as my additional B! OH has just got home and declared he's making himself a mugshot... so I think I'll join him in having one of those too!
Alpro - total syns for the day 5.5

That's the ones... they're not great. But I'd forgotten to buy bread. I might use them for fajita's or something if I get them again.

how did weigh in go?
1lb off! Which is a bit of a miracle considering...
Now only 0.5 away from getting my 2 stone award
Forgot to add my Alpro and an Alpen light bar (8.5 syns for the day)

Yea, planning not to stumble over this one! Hah - easier said that done though. Out with work for Christmas meal tomorrow and then again with friends on Monday. I will probably stay off the booze, but I know that the food isn't going to be totally on plan. Think I'll be making a big batch of speed soup to stay on track!
